The Amplified Bible says "he picked us out for His own". However, that doesn't say WE are required to pick Him; our free will still allows us to make that decision - to serve Jesus or not. If we were required to pick Jesus - then Jesus could never say "whosoever will may come"; which clearly shows Jesus knew we had the free will to choose Him or not choose Him.

The Amplified Bible says "he picked us out for His own". However, that doesn't say WE are required to pick Him; our free will still allows us to make that decision - to serve Jesus or not.

So then some people, the ones who weren't picked out, are going to Hell anyway, and the others will be either saved or not as their own fallen will directs them. You seem to have combined the most unpalatable aspects of both sides.
